Purpose: This case report describes a child with Duane retraction syndrome (DRS) associated with genetically confirmed Type II Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS). The purpose is to better understand the ocular manifestations of RTS and further explore the possibility that the neurodevelopmental genetic abnormality in RTS may sporadically impact ocular motor nerves.

Observations: A 2-year-old male with a history of Type II RTS associated with a de novo variant of presented for a comprehensive eye examination, which revealed a left esotropia of 20 prism diopters (PD) in primary gaze with a significant left face turn, mild globe retraction on adduction in the left eye, and abduction limitation consistent with Type 1 DRS in the left eye.

Trigemino-abducens synkinesis: serial review over 4 years.

J AAPOS

December 2024

Department of Ophthalmology, Gold Coast University Hospital, Gold Coast, Queensland; School of Medicine, Bond University, Gold Coast, Queensland, New Zealand.

Congenital cranial dysinnervation disorders involve abberant connections between cranial nerves, often resulting in synkinetic activation of target muscles. Marcus-Gunn jaw winking ptosis and Duane retraction syndrome are some of the more well-known examples of this phenomenon. We present serial video of a child with congenital trigemino-abducens synkinesis, a lesser known congenital cranial dysinnervation disorder, to demonstrate the characteristics of this likely under-diagnosed presentation.

Baseline characteristics of children in the Early Glasses Study.

Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol

September 2024

Dept. of Ophthalmology, Erasmus University Medical Center, Dr. Molewaterplein 40, Ee-1667, 3015 GD, Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Article Synopsis
  • A study called the Early Glasses Study is looking at how wearing glasses early on can help prevent problems like amblyopia (lazy eye) and a condition called accommodative esotropia in young children.
  • They checked the eyes of 742 kids aged about 14 months and found that only a small number had high enough refractive errors to participate in the glasses test.
  • The results showed that while strabismus (crossed eyes) was common, very few kids had amblyopia, which suggests that this eye problem might develop later than what experts previously thought.

To report the unusual fundus features of a case with unilateral Duane retraction syndrome (DRS) with same-side extensive macular retinoschisis. A 75-year-old woman was diagnosed to have DRS type 3 and several multimodal fundus imaging modalities were performed. There was limited abduction and adduction, globe retraction, and narrowing of the palpebral fissure on the adduction of the left eye without a compensatory face turn.

Article Synopsis
  • An 8-month-old infant with a history of being born prematurely was evaluated for issues related to eye movement and microcephaly.
  • The eye examination indicated a condition known as Duane syndrome, characterized by abnormal eye movements.
  • Genetic testing confirmed the presence of a mutation linked to Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome type II, which is unusual but can be associated with Duane syndrome due to potential cranial nerve involvement.

Exotropic-Duane Syndrome (XT-DRS) is a congenital cranial nerve dysinnervation disorder characterized by exotropia, anomalous head posture (contralateral face turn), limited adduction, globe retraction, palpebral fissure narrowing, upshoot and downshoot in adduction, and varying levels of limitation of abduction. Patients with XT-DRS often have poor convergence because attempted convergence induces co-contraction of the lateral rectus muscle (LR) due to anomalous LR innervation. We describe two patients with XT-DRS who underwent simultaneous lateral rectus muscle (LR) disinsertion and periosteal fixation (LRDAPF) and modified Nishida procedure (MNP) and discuss their outcome.

Congenital disorders of glycosylation type I (CDG-I) are a group of autosomal recessive genetic multisystem disorders that arise from defective glycoprotein biosynthesis. Although ocular abnormalities have been described in patients with CDG-I, few ocular abnormalities have been associated with ALG12-CDG (CDG-Ig), a rare subtype of CDG-I. We report a case of Duane syndrome, a congenital strabismus syndrome, in a 17-year-old young woman with ALG12-CDG.

April 2024

Beijing Tongren Eye Center, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China; Beijing Ophthalmology and Visual Science Key Lab, Beijing, China. Electronic address:

Duane retraction syndrome (DRS) is a rare congenital nonprogressive restrictive strabismus. The absence/hypoplasia of the abducens nerve and the aberrant innervation of the lateral rectus muscle by the oculomotor nerve have been hypothesized as causes of DRS, although the phenomenon of globe retraction can also occur in the setting of mechanical factors, such as congenital abnormal orbital structures or orbital trauma. We present the cases of 2 DRS patients with absent abducens nerve and abnormal muscular bands connecting the superior rectus and inferior rectus muscles on the temporal side of the optic nerve.
